..........
i never had that problem, i alway install it in primary partitions.....
you can create up to 4 primary partitions on an ide disk or (pls correct me if i am wrong) 3 primary an 1 extended with 16 virtuall partitions. i think that the virtuall partitions are handled by the OS.... so on my explanation you could install it on each partition but it must not be an virtuall partition...
pls correct me if i am wrong (the school is long time ago)....
greetings Preßy

NAME
partx - telling the kernel about presence and numbering of on-disk partitions.
SYNOPSIS
partx [-a|-d|-l] [--type TYPE] [--nr M-N] [partition] disk
DESCRIPTION
Given a block device ( disk ) and a partition table type , try to parse the partition table, and list the contents. Optionally add or

of on-disk partitions.

-l list partitions. Note that the all numbers are in 512-byte sectors.
--type TYPE
Specify the partition type -- dos, bsd, solaris, unixware or gpt.
--nr M-N
Specify the range of partitions (e.g --nr 2-4).
SEE ALSO
addpart(8), delpart(8), fdisk(8), parted(8), partprobe(8)
